Figurazioni dell'amor patrio - Esuli, profughi e migranti nelle arti visive del Risorgimento
2019
Figura simbolica fortemente radicata nell’immaginario risorgimentale, l’esule conferisce un volto umano a valori fondativi del discorso patriottico, come lo spirito di sacrificio e il senso di appartenenza alla comunità nazionale. Da tempo oggetto di studi storici, storico-letterari e comparatistici, il tema dell’esilio conosce una notevole fortuna iconografica nell’Europa del XIX secolo, qui per la prima volta esaminata in maniera sistematica grazie alla ricostruzione puntuale della genesi di opere che in virtù della loro natura allusiva suscitano l’interesse degli ambienti patriottici. Oltre a proporre una casistica dei motivi più ricorrenti, l’autore interpreta le immagini dell’esilio al…
Curating Objects from the European Border Zone: The “Lampedusa Refugee Boat”
2019
The cultural politics of the present encourage museums and artists to seek an ethical vision within Europe navigating the knowledge of ongoing mass death at the border. This is one explanation for the interest in objects symbolising present-day irregular border crossing among museum curators, artists, designers and activists. Wooden fishing boats, inflatable dinghies and life jackets appear regularly in exhibitions and installations. This chapter focuses on the meaning of “the Lampedusa boat” and argues that the narrative context within which the boats are exhibited guides the work of imagination that animates the object. While exhibiting the boats carries the critical potential to relocate…

La dimensione tecnologica del museo: forme, tecniche, "identità mutanti" tra storia e contemporaneità
2005
Nella cultura contemporanea il tema della conservazione dell’eredità storica, della rappresentazione e della trasmissibilità dell’arte è argomento ampiamente dibattuto. La forza culturale del museo, detentore dell’eredità, può essere interpretata secondo diverse traiettorie di forme. La memoria intende esprimersi sulle origini e sul significato della "macchina museale" attraverso l’analisi critica dell’oggetto, sia esso contenitore, palco di rappresentazione o scena interattiva. Sonda i processi di comunicazione relativamente alla forma architettonica, alla funzione ed alla fruizione del prodotto espositivo. Tenendo conto delle diverse scuole di pensiero sulla spettacolarizzazione dell’arte…
